Love Sheila

The Greatness of Santi's Words (2 )

Danny, Ken, and Santi arrive at the police station and are escorted by a police officer to Darius's room.

"Where's Steven doing?" darius asked after they all sat on the sofa in the room.

"Alhamdulillaah the bullet removal operation has succeeded. Steven's condition has also started to stabilize" replied Danny.

"Thank God then. Lawyers Raka and Celine have come, but your lawyers have also come first. The report has been made, you just have to testify Dan" Darius said.

"Okay sister, thank you," replied Danny.

"Sorry you can't do it, there's still a lot of work. You guys are ushered in by brother's subordinates."

"It doesn't matter" said Ken.

Danny, Ken, and Santi are then escorted back by a police officer to the service room.

Arya, the Ricko family's official lawyer, immediately greeted them.

"Om has entered the report, you are the only one who testified to Dan" Arya said.

"okay Om. Thank you so much" Danny replied.

Danny sat down in front of a police officer who was ready to record all the testimony Danny would give.

Suddenly Celine's lawyer approaches Ken.

"Sorry Mr. Ken, Ms. Celine told me she wants to talk to you" the lawyer said.

Had scrunched his forehead for a moment, but Ken was finally able to respond to the request of Celine's lawyer.

"Om, I'll stay a while, yeah" said Ken to Arya.

"okay Ken. Be careful," Arya's message.

"certain Om. Santi you come with me."

Somehow Ken felt the need to bring Santi along with him.

"Good Sir."

Ken and Santi follow Celine's lawyer to the detention room. They were waiting at the tables and chairs that were provided. Not long after, Celine arrived at a police officer.

"Sir Ken," cried Celine.

Celine ran over and hugged Ken who was already standing up from his seat. Santi turned his face away, for some reason there was a sense of unease in his heart seeing Celine hug Ken like that.

At first glance Ken saw Santi who turned his face away. Ken took off Celine's arms and took her to a chair next to her lawyer. Ken sat down next to Santi.

"Sir Ken, how's Steven doing?" celine looked very worried.

"The operation was successful, Steven's condition has also started to stabilize" Ken replied.

"Sister please Celine. Help Celine get out of here. Celine doesn't want to go to jail. Celine also accidentally shot Steven. Sheila should have been shot instead of Steven's sister" Celine said at length.

"Enough Celine. You remain guilty anyway. And it's only natural that you take responsibility for your actions" Ken is still trying to be patient.

"Sister, sister said that brother loves Celine, right? Please help Celine dong. Celine confesses to all this because Celine loves Steven. And if indeed brother Ken also love the same Celine brother Ken should help Celine dong so Celine can be happy. If Ken really loves Celine, Ken should be happy to see Celine happy" Celine's voice has gone up an octave because of emotion.

Santi clenched his hands together on his lap, holding back the resentment and anger of hearing Celine's words. It did not go unnoticed by Ken. Honestly Ken also felt annoyed with Celine's selfish and stubborn attitude. But Ken could as much as possible hold back his anger. Ken laughed blandly in response to Celine's words.

"So now you're confessing your brother's love feelings to you?" ken asked half a sneer.

"Y-ya Celine knows that actually sister likes Celine, right sister often say that to Celine," replied Celine nervously.

"Oh yeah? Not that you always say that what you feel is not love, but only the affection of a brother to his sister?"

Celine seems to be getting the wrong way. Didn't expect that Ken would corner her like that.

"And the sister who always told Celine that she loved Celine. If you really love Celine, you should help Celine dong to make Celine happy. Brother should be happy if he sees Celine happy too. And Celine's happiness is just the same Steven's sister," said Celine insistent.

"Haha. It's easy to say that Celine. Then, why can't you do it yourself?" asked Ken again.

"What-What brother do you mean?" Celine asked back, not understanding.

"You ask your brother to be happy if you see you're happy, then why don't you be happy to see Steven happy?"

Celine aghast. I was surprised by what Ken said.

"From the beginning you also know that Steven only considers you as a brother. Then why is it that now that Steven is happy with Sheila, his wife, you want to separate them? For reasons of love? But you said that if we love, we should be happy to see our loved ones happy too, right?"

Ken successfully reversed Celine's words. Makes Celine stoic run out of words. Vaguely Santi smiles hearing Ken who is able to fight his own feelings, though Santi knows it must be very difficult.

"Enough Celine. There's nothing more we need to talk about. Be mature and take responsibility for everything you do. No longer use love as an excuse, because what you have is not love but obsession, selfishness, and also your stubbornness" Ken said once again.

Ken then stood up, followed by Santi.

"Learn from Celine's experience. Appreciate the person who loves you sincerely. Because even the sincere can leave when you feel tired because you always ignore it," Ken said, ending their conversation and then stepping away from Celine and her lawyer.

Santi nodded his head slightly as a sign of politeness and farewell, then stepped up to Ken who had left first.

Santi smiled when he found Ken's step stopped at the small mosque in the police station. Ken sat himself on the terrace of the mosque. Santi sat down next to Ken.

"Mr okay?" santi asked breaking the silence.

Ken laughed blandly with a look forward.

"Eitherway. My heart feels numb right now" Ken replied uninspiredly.

"But Father is great. I salute the Father who is able to fight your own feelings and say all those facts, although I believe it must be very difficult," said Santi sincerely.

"It is natural that if you feel hurt and disappointed, you are experiencing what is called 'broken heart'. Father's struggle for the love of the Father is not appreciated, even ignored and underestimated," said Santi again to look forward to what Ken did.

"One thing I can suggest to you, think positively in addressing this problem. Maybe at this time Allah SWT is showing you that Celine is not the right person for you to fight. Wouldn't it be better for you to get hurt now than to continue fighting without certainty which will actually make you end up with more hurt?"

In his silence Ken pondered over every word of Santi. And yes, Ken admitted that what Santi said was all true.

"Good women are for good men too, and vice versa Sir. So if at this time Allah SWT keeps the Father away from Celine, it means Celine is not a good woman for the Father. Be assured, Mr. Allah SWT has prepared a good woman for you. You just have to be a little patient, maybe at this time the soul mate of the Father is solidifying itself for the Father," added Santi again.

Ken smiled at Santi's words. His heart was like being watered with cold water, it felt so soothing, making his mind calm again. Santi's words were like an oasis in the middle of the desert. Relieved Ken's thirst, making him feel relieved. Forgetting all the disappointment in his heart.

"Thank you San," Ken said sincerely. "Thank you for everything. I'm lucky because I'm with you in bad times like this. Thank you for all your support" Ken turned his eyes to Santi.

Santi smiled gently, leaving Ken stunned for a moment. Suddenly his heart was racing like never before. The foreign feeling he always felt when he saw Santi was now the more obvious he felt.

"We pray Dhuha yuk Pak, so that your heart also becomes calmer. Our mumpung is in the mosque and also mumpung time is still there," asked Santi.

"Ah, yes. Come on," Ken replied after waking up from his daydream.

During the twenty-eight years he had been through, this was the first time for Ken to perform Dhuha prayers. But somehow Ken could not refuse Santi's invitation earlier. Ken actually felt so light when stepping his feet towards the ablution.

And sure enough, Ken has not felt the calm and peace. Ken smiled, shaking his head slowly. A Santi, whom he always referred to as the 'rigid girl', could exert this much influence on Ken, wow.
